Baymard Premium License & Usage Terms

Active subscription: The full Baymard Premium research catalog, toolset, and any downloaded reports are intended only for the active users on your active account. Inactive users or inactive accounts (incl due to failed renewal) are not allowed to access or store any parts of the Baymard Premium research catalog (incl prior downloaded and printed materials or files).

Only employees in the same legal entity: The license only covers creating users for full-time employees within the same legal entity. The license does not cover creating accounts for, or any kind of full or partial sharing of the research findings, with anyone outside your legal entity (this includes, but is not limited to, sharing with external partners, clients, vendors, students, external developers, external designers, etc.). “Group purchase” companies and schemes are not allowed in any form, and such accounts will be closed immediately without any refund.

“Enterprise license”: companies that are on a plan that has an “enterprise license” (instead of the more common “company license”), are allowed to use their Baymard account for employees within the entire enterprise organization. This means that parent organization that own e.g. multiple subsidiary e-commerce sites or brands are allowed to use that one enterprise Baymard account for all the subsidiaries. The enterprise license only covers all direct subsidiaries of the parent company – sharing with close partners, clients, developers, agencies, etc., is not allowed.

One person per user profile: Each Baymard Premium user profile can only be used by one employee, and only of the organization that pays for the Premium account.

No republication/paraphrasing/sharing etc. – in short: Baymard Premium access is for people who want to improve their own or their client’s site UX. Baymard Premium is not for people seeking inspiration for their own ‘content production’ or ‘content marketing’ efforts as none of the Baymard Premium content may be used or published elsewhere in any format, incl., articles, white papers, workshop materials, in-person presentations, webinars, etc. Limited citations of the Baymard Premium research may be granted upon request, but require written pre-approval. Write us at info@baymard.com. If creating UX-related content (content marketing) is the main objective, we don’t recommend you purchase access as Premium cannot be used for this.

No republication/paraphrasing/sharing etc – the legalese version: Without first having written consent from Baymard Institute no one are allowed to publish any Baymard content, in full or partially. This includes, but is not limited to, publishing paraphrasings, superficial rewrites, heavily inspired, repackaged, or resold Baymard content, along with any form of sharing accounts outside of the licensed company. (Failure to comply on this “no sharing” aspect will mean: 1) immediate closure of all Baymard accounts without a refund, 2) possible legal prosecution of violation of copyright and/or violation of the US registered trademark “Baymard”.

Refund policy

We offer a 14 days “no questions asked” refund policy for all Baymard Premium purchases. If you’re not satisfied with the research then simply write us an e-mail at info@baymard.com with your invoice number and we’ll transfer the full amount back to your credit card account.

When a refund is issued all license rights to use and/or store any copies (digital or physical) of the research is revoked, along with Baymard Premium access. Note that each company/customer is limited to 1 refund.

Cancellation of Premium

All Baymard Premium accounts are prepaid for 12 months from the signup date and will by default auto-renew after 12 months (charged to the latest used payment method).

Auto-renewal can be stopped at any point in time by the account owner, causing the plan to auto-expire for all users on the “renewal date” (renewal can be stopped at https://baymard.com/premium/account/manage-subscription . This link requires signin to a valid account).

There are two key reasons for Premium only being billed annually:

Most importantly; we continually update all of the research content and release new research studies (each year we conduct around 9,500 hours of new large-scale UX testing and use 4,700 developer hours on new features for Premium) – however in what months during the year that those updates are released will be slightly random. Annual billing is the only way to ensure that there’s an actual relationship between what Premium users are around to receive the new research and who actually “paid for it”.

On some of the plans, several of the Premium features such as onboarding calls, private Q&A/feedback sessions, exams & certification, are only possible because we have annual billing.

Communication

When purchasing Baymard Premium you give consent to:

Baymard sending you 0-2 emails per year when new research studies are released (this will ever only pertain Baymard research, be max 2 emails per year, and have a 1-click unsubscribe option). GDPA compliant.

Baymard may use the company name and/or logo of the research purchaser on Baymard’s sales pages.

If you don’t want any of the above you can opt out by sending an email to info@baymard.com

UX-Certification:

Individuals that achieve the “E-Commerce UX Professional” certification may use the certification seal on individual profile pages, resumes, and similar – both in digital and in print. They may also opt for an optional public profile page at baymard.com/certified

Certificates are personal and may only be used on webpages that describe the certified individual (i.e. it may not be used to insinuate an entire company is certified by Baymard).

The certificate seal itself may not be altered or modified in any way beyond applying a black and white shading.

Baymard reserves the right to update and/or cancel any certification at its sole discretion (for example, but not limited to, misconduct or brand abuse, changing of certificate names, discontinuation of training service, etc). Baymard may similarly close any profile pages at baymard.com.

UX-Training: Terms of Purchase

All purchases of UX Training workshops are binding and non-refundable (also in the case of attendee no-shows, for whatever cause the ticket-holder doesn’t show up), however the ticket-holder may request to transfer the ticket to someone else (inside or outside of your company and only for the same day as the ticket was purchased for) by emailing Baymard at least 48 hours in advance.

In event Baymard’s workshop teacher(s) are prevented from showing up, for example, due to serious illness, deaths in the near family, denied country entry, airline or transportation problems, Baymard may send a substitute speaker. If it’s not possible to send a substitute speaker, Baymard may have to cancel the entire event or postpone it by 1-3 days. Only in the rare case of Baymard have to cancel the entire event, Baymard will refund the full paid UX training ticket and exam costs (but not any individual travel expenses).

Baymard reserves the rights to, at any point, change training venue or address, within the same city or to another nearby city, for example, due to (but not limited to) issues with the originally planned venue, venue closures, venue financial or quality issues, transportation or weather issues related to original the venue location.
